Hi Keith, sorry I am really, really going off you with this one. :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Nice to have such a cooperative SEO in some nice evening light. I know you could get more detail/clarity from within the chest area, it's just knowing how to extract it, if you can, this would give the subject more depth and form, although have you left the NR mask over this area, as the larger version has no detail? No issue with the wire, just not so struck with the format.I would go for vertical, have as you have it, less on the LHS compared to the right, to give the subject space to look into.

That is one gorgeous short eared owl shot, Keith, although I do agree with Steve about the format.

Keith

Owls are special in my book, and you have a first class example here. They sit on fence posts and fences have wire I don't see a problem.
